One of the designers who made it happen

Mark was very accomodating with our request for changes, and took time to study our business to ensure the design is really reflecting our core business. Thanks for a job well done Mark.

How Kkeating1 started their web page design journey

Company name

FastStart Communications (I don't have a logo so I'm open to suggestions)

Overview

I'm an independent public relations/marketing communications professional with more than 20 years experience and a proven track record. My website needs to convey my skills in inbound marketing, driving website traffic, professional writing/ghost writing, B2B communications, and media relations. I'm aiming to engage visitors and maintain a professional tone to the site. Attached is the copy for the home page. I hope that helps better communicate the goal of the site. The navigation bar should have the following headers: home page, inbound marketing, public relations, writing & editing, partners, professional workshops, contact. ABSOLUTELY NO STOCK PHOTOS OF SHINY HAPPY PEOPLE. PLEASE. Also, please no stock images of standard graphs/charts arrows going upward. I need something that depicts and differentiates my business, not 'insert stock photo here.' Thanks.

Requirements

Clean, neat, professional. I plan to engage visitors through various landing pages that prompt the reader to continue through the site. I actually have the majority of the text written and it's on a GoDaddy site -- I now need some creative design to help it come to life.

Existing website

There is an existing site on GoDaddy. I will share the password. It will depend on initial design concepts.

Example websites

I like clean, fresh design that's not too busy. (doesn't everybody?). I trust designers know what they're doing. Couple of things I don't like: white text on black background, too many images and too much text (I like Google cleanliness). The pages I write will have few key words up front followed by some more explanatory text below it. I'm also not a fan of literal interpretations of my business. If you want to get a sense of who I am, you can see my background on LinkedIn: Kathleen A. Keating (Boston).
